http://www.chicagopipeshow.com/show_information/flyers.php Who else plans to go? I wanted to go last year pretty bad, but couldn't take the days off at work. This year, the wife said she wanted to go with me, and the boss said the days off were approved. Flights for 2 booked on Continental Airlines for Friday 5/4 arriving 3:30 PM Hilton Garden Inn booked 5/4 - 5/6 in St Charles across the street from the Pheasant Run Resort Nat'l Car Rental booked Kids lined up to stay with friends Wife is putting $$ away weekly for briar bank Did I say all the travel is free! Yep, airline points, hotel points and rental car points paying for it all. Looks like this trip will finally happen.
Wayne Teipen and I will have a table there. I believe we will also have Trent Rudat at our table, but still waiting to hear back from him.
Well, I'm sure congratulations will be in order soon before that, so it is understandable. Nate and I will have a little extra fun in your honor.
Hehe...I agree a better joy to behold is coming sooner than that show! But still...be a good chance to meet some folks...
Yes, and I'm hoping to find some deals on some briar and toby. Wouldn't mind picking up a Hackert cob if one is around either.
Well good! You and Nate go save my money for me!!! I will be stowing it away for another 18 year lease...LOL!!!
Sadly, I will not be able to attend this one....some day! Still hoping to make the KC show though...... To all who manage to attend...have fun and think of me! LOL
I went last year and it was great. We stayed there and the wife and I celebrated our 20 yr anniversary. Now, divorced. Yes, I did say TWENTY year not TWO! So, have nobody to go with and doubt I will have the extra $ to stay there or buy much. It's only about 2hrs away, so I could drive and see what I can get for free!
Like Nate said, I will be there with some pipes to sell. I'm looking forward to it. It's a great time.
Wow, the 1/4 bent & 1/2 bent, sand blasted billiards in your gallery are really nice. I like the Danish Rhodesian too!
Is Wayne Teipen that country music singer? Maybe I'll see yall there.........because I'm a going........
Looks like I won't be making it to the Chicago show. Scheduled to work that weekend. You all have a great time wish I could be there. But I will be at the St. Charles Mo. show next weekend. That should be fun too. Royboy
I plan on being at the show Thursday or Friday through Sunday as usual. I hope as many people can book at Pheasant Run as possible, room nights really help the club!
Pipe show + Pheasant Run golf course = really tempting! I played that course a couple of times and have good memories. Wish I could go, but it's just too far from the Philippines...
